2/11/10 -Outside of Class-

8:30-11:00PM

...I was trying to remind myself the order in which I did work but suddenly my program is not working. I'll repost this when I figure out what's wrong.

11:30-12:15AM

Okay after investigating the problem I fixed it despite not being a hundred percent sure about what was wrong. I'm leaning towards the application being inappropriately moved from one place to another, solution: putting the application in the dock after loading a file through Terminal.

Although not in order this is what I did:

8:30-11:00PM

  1. Tweaked the shape of the transparent room
  2. Turned the lights off in the environment
  3. Added a Plane for the floor
  4. Applied a Material Texture to the floor ([Name]:faded floor)
  5. Removed the wall that was dividing the space and moved objects
  6. Tweaked the object I've labeled as Console (I plan to change the material texture on it)
  7. Added cylinder shapes to scene to finalize the construction of the objects
  8. Applied material textures to the aforementioned cylinders
  9. Altered the shape of the object labeled Closet (Need to change the Material texture to something less reflective or at least alter it)
12:45-1:30AM

  1. Changed the Materials texture for the Cabinet, and the Console
  2. Raised the level of the ceiling in the room
  3. Rendered a test screen shot as a PSD

Feb 4th -Outside Class-

3:30-6:00PM

  1. Set up Cinema 4D on home computer > 
  2. Skimmed through manual > 
  3. Opened up a new file >
  4. Tested out how to edit stored shapes by point, plane, and line segment > 
  5. Practiced with the tools on different shapes, applied booleans > 
  6. Deleted all shapes and set up a cube > 
  7. Applied hypernerbs > 
  8. Tweaked the settings for the amount of tiles to a plane > 
  9. Started to make a face/mask (it had been my goal to do when I was in Multimedia at my high school, I had gotten close)

2/11/10 -Outside of Class-

  1. 11-12:25pm Working on Textures and structures in fly thru
  2. 12:30-1:40pm Set up render on other computer > Continue work on Fly thru (Downloaded some textures, imported them into the project file, applied textures and experimented with the lighting, [not quite sure on how to use the sun as a light, I WILL look it up])
  3. 1:50-3:00pm Checked on render (will have to restart the render, it was taking too long) > Applied textures to edited structures (tried to do a Taper [or resize a plane on one of the cylinders] but I couldn't remember how) > Edited Blog

2/9/10 #2

  1. 1:20-3:00 pm Setting up Environment for Fly Thru > save as project > back up files (flythru2010 > flythru_2_9_10)

2/9/10

  1. 12:25-12:30 Set up files
  2. 12:30-1:15 Completing 4 drawings for ideas on next project (it was HW from the previous class...     *-^_^0*)
  3. IDEA: (Since I've been on an Astroboy kick for the past couple of days) I figured that I'd go sci-fi and set up the environment of a laboratory. The perspective is of the character is a young child who wondered into the lab and discovers something which is where the scene ends (completed by 1:15pm)
